Scientists Discover Mini Dinosaur

Your cat could take this dinosaur. Scientists published a report on Wednesday announcing the discovery of a new dinosaur that they say is among the smallest ever discovered, and have dubbed the minute terror Pegomastax africanus. The discovery is the result of decades of research. The jaw and skull of the creature, which probably measures about two feet in length at maturity, were found in a rock specimen that scientists unearthed while working in South Africa in the 1960s. Researchers said that the dinosaur’s beaklike jaws may have been used to pluck fruit.
